Some people have the ability to quickly take the sourest lemons that life can throw at them, and turn them into lemonade for their own benefit and that of others. This is exactly what Sharon Love did after the worst tragedy a mother can endure happened to her. Sharon Love was the mother of Yeardley Love a beautiful 22 year old. Four years ago Yeardley was found by police after she was beaten to death by her boyfriend. Not long after her death Sharon decided to turn this negative situation around, and not allow her daughters death to be in vain.

In honor of Yeardley’s memory she established the One Love Foundation. One of the foundations primary aims is to provide awareness about relationship abuse. They assist victims, family, and fellow friends, in understanding the risk of harm in a situation, through their App. Their free App helps a person identify signs of when they are at risk of becoming a victim of violence.
